yes, but you don't have corrugations on the wing of a butterfly, the leaf of 
a tree, or the lace that were used as other illustrative examples in the 
dictionary definitions that i quoted; the scalloping is not the corrugations 
(since corrugation is clearly a better word for that anyway) but the 
rounding effect you get on the edge as a result of corrugations (in the case 
of scallops & other shells) or because you go around trimming your lace in 
that shape, and so on...
